Posted at 18/5/2025 19:15 by fatmansays BT Group’s Strategic Divestiture: A Telecom Giant’s Bold Pivot to Profitability and Streaming DominanceJulian West Sunday, May 18, 2025 6:48 am ET 40min read The telecom sector is in the midst of a seismic shift. Companies like bt group are redefining their core strategies to focus on high-growth areas, offloading non-core assets that drain capital and distract from profitability. BT’s impending sale of its 50% stake in TNT Sports to Warner Bros Discovery (WBD) epitomizes this transformation— The Burden of TNT Sports: A Strategic Divestiture Unveils BT’s True Potential TNT Sports, a joint venture with WBD, was BT’s ill-fated attempt to leverage sports broadcasting as a lever for broadband growth. Launched in 2022, the venture aimed to lock in subscribers with exclusive Premier League content—a strategy that backfired. Fierce competition from Sky and Amazon’s deep-pocketed bids for sports rights, coupled with rising operational costs, turned TNT into a financial anchor. Its £187.5M pre-tax loss in 2024 alone underscores the futility of this experiment. By divesting, BT gains two critical advantages: capital reallocation and strategic focus. The UK telecom giant can now redirect resources to its core broadband and mobile businesses, where it holds dominant market share. With CEO Allison Kirkby’s pledge to spin off international operations into a standalone unit, BT is sharpening its focus on its home market—a move that aligns with shareholder demands for higher returns. WBD’s Acquisition: A Play for Streaming Supremacy Warner Bros Discovery’s acquisition of BT’s stake is no mere acquisition—it For WBD, this is a low-risk, high-reward bet. The transaction likely closes below BT’s £750M stake valuation, given TNT’s underperformance, but the long-term upside is immense. HBO Max’s European rollout, enhanced by sports content, could attract millions of subscribers, transforming WBD’s streaming business from a cash drain to a profit engine. Financial Realities: A Catalyst for BT’s Shareholder Value Analysts forecast BT’s stock to rise to $2.34 in the next 12 months—a 6.69% premium from its current price of $2.19—a figure that understates the true potential. While GF Value’s $1.86 estimate reflects near-term uncertainty, the strategic clarity of this deal could catalyze a re-rating. BT’s core UK telecom business is already profitable, with strong cash flows and minimal debt. Offloading TNT removes a major earnings drag, freeing capital for dividends, share buybacks, or reinvestment in growth areas like 5G and cloud services. The March 2026 deadline for the stake sale adds urgency. Investors who buy BT now could benefit from a potential premium if the deal closes above current expectations—a possibility if WBD accelerates its timeline, as rumors suggest. Why Buy BT Now? This deal is a strategic pivot with three key catalysts: 1. Immediate Earnings Boost: Shedding TNT’s losses will improve BT’s bottom line, likely driving a multiple expansion. 2. Shareholder Returns: Freed capital could fuel buybacks or dividend hikes, appealing to income-focused investors. 3. Long-Term Growth: BT’s core UK telecom business is primed for 5G adoption and enterprise cloud services, with minimal competition in its home market. WBD Closing Price Conclusion: BT’s Bold Move Signals Telecom’s Future BT’s divestiture of TNT Sports is more than a cost-cutting move—it’ Investors should act now: BT’s stock is undervalued relative to its post-divestiture potential, and the March 2026 deadline is a looming catalyst. This is a rare opportunity to buy a telecom leader at a discount, poised to benefit from both its own operational excellence and WBD’s streaming ambitions. The sell-off is over—BT’ Time to act before the market catches up. |

Posted at 19/3/2025 10:46 by freddie01 BT Group share price hits key level: can it surge to 200p?BT Group stock price has rallied to a key resistance level. The company's business is doing well as the management executes a turnaround. Technicals suggest that the BT share price may jump to 200p soon. BT Group share price has done well this year, mirroring the performance of other popular UK stocks like Lloyds and Rolls-Royce. It jumped to a high of 162.90p on Tuesday, a key resistance where it has failed to move above in the past. It has jumped by almost 70% from its lowest point in 2024. BT Group’s business is doing well in a tough market BT Group, the parent company of EE and OpenReach, is doing well at a time when the British economy is slowing. Data released last week showed that the UK economy shrunk in January as consumer spending and business environment remained muted. BT Group’s business does well when the UK economy is thriving because it is one of the biggest telecom firms in the country. The most recent half-year results showed that BT Group’s revenue dropped by 3% to £10.1 billion. Its profit after tax dropped from £844 million to £755 million, while the earnings per share dropped to 7.5p. Most of BT Group’s slowdown is coming from its business brand, whose sales dropped by 6% to £3.86 billion. This business was formed by merging BT Global and its enterprise units. It created a single B2B unit where customers would get products like connectivity, networking and cloud, phone and mobile, and security services. BT Group’s consumer segment started to stabilize in the year’s first half, with its revenue falling by 1% to £4.83 billion. The management continues on a turnaround strategy focused on five pillars. It aims to grow the reach of its OpenReach business, gain consumer growth, digitize most of its operations, and optimize the portfolio and capital allocation. As part of the turnaround efforts, BT Group has announced plans to lay off thousands of workers in the next few years. It hopes to replace some of these workers with artificial intelligence tools. BT share price has also done well as the management insists that it will achieve its target. Its guidance is that the annual revenue will be down by between 1 and 2%, the adjusted EBITDA will be about £8.2 billion and capital expenditure will be less than £4.8 billion. BT Group share price has also done well because of its dividends. It declared a 2.4 pence per share in the last results and maintained that it will have a progressive policy that grows the payout each year. The weekly chart shows that the BT share price has been in a slow uptrend in the past few months. It has jumped from last year’s low of 100p to a high of 161.20p, a notable level since it was the highest point in 2021, 2022, and 2023. BT Group has formed an ascending triangle pattern, a popular continuation sign. It has moved above all moving averages, and most recently, it formed a golden cross pattern as the 50-week and 200-week moving averages crossed each other. Oscillators like the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the MACD have continued rising, a sign that it is gaining momentum. Therefore, the stock will likely keep soaring as bulls target the key resistance level at 200p. This price is both a psychological point and the highest level in 2018. It is about 25% above the current level. |

A TR-1 filing published on Monday evening showed the US bank’s 5% holding had been reduced to zero, news that clearly rang out a note of disquiet amongst investors.

Posted at 18/2/2025 11:00 by freddie01 BT Group PLC remained under pressure on Tuesday after facing a double whammy of a downgrade by Citi analysts and a stake cut by Morgan Stanley.Flagging declining revenues in its Openreach division, Citi hit the telecoms firm with a ‘sell’ rating and downgraded its share price target from 200p to 112p in a note. Openreach, which maintains telephone cables, was expected to face declining revenues over the year ahead and for the rest of the decade, according to Citi. “[This] could see a negative shift in sentiment and questions as to whether BT will achieve its guidance for £3 billion of normalised free cash flow by the end of the decade,” it said. Concerns around the long-term sustainability of pricing in BT’s consumer division were also cited, alongside expectations for restructuring costs to reduce significantly ahead. Morgan Stanley also separately cut its stake in BT to below 5%, according to a Monday evening regulatory filing, from 5.0252% to 4.9897%. Shares dropped 5.2% to 43.65p on Tuesday to place BT well ahead among the FTSE 100's fallers. Overall, London's blue chips index slipped seven points to 8,760 as the likes of Intercontinental Hotels Group PLC, Airtel Africa PLC and J Sainsbury PLC also dropped. |

Posted at 31/1/2025 08:28 by freddie01 BT’s top table turnover continuesBT’s CEO, Allison Kirkby, continues her revamp of the UK telco’s leadership team She has spent the past year replacing the top table old guard with new recruits Telco sector veteran and ‘IT dragon slayer’ Jon James has been drafted in as the new CEO of BT Business He replaces Bas Burger, who is given the task of offloading BT’s international operations The news comes as BT reports uninspiring fiscal third-quarter results BT Group CEO Allison Kirkby has further revamped her top executive team line-up with the appointment of Jon James, the former CEO of Denmark’s Nuuday, as the new CEO of BT Business, the UK telco’s enterprise services division that has been struggling for several years. James will take on the poisoned chalice from 3 March. He will replace Bas Burger, who has been grappling with the tough turnaround assignment at BT Business since the start of 2023, shortly after the telco merged its Enterprise and Global units to form a single unit in order to cut costs – BT merges units to form BT Business and save £100m. Burger had been the CEO of BT Global up to that point and, in a way, he will be going back to those roots starting in March, though this isn’t a glamorous assignment: Kirkby’s strategy is to focus on the UK, believing BT’s international operations are a distraction and a drag on margins, so Burger’s job will be to “devote all of his time to the optimisation of BT’s international operations and explore options for the unit,” the operator noted. Those options include trying to find a partner that could take a stake in a spun-out operation that would be underpinned by the next-generation Global Fabric infrastructure built over the past few years – see What now for BT’s Global Fabric? James, meanwhile, will be tasked with reversing the fortunes of BT Business, which is shrinking by the quarter. Hopes are high that he could repeat his performance at Nuuday, the services company spun out of former Danish national operator TDC, where he is credited with revamping the company during his tenure as CEO, which began in mid-2021 and ended about a month ago. Critical to his turnaround strategy at Nuuday was an IT transformation that enabled the company to become a more agile, efficient and customer-centric company – see How Jon James slayed the Nuuday IT dragon. Prior to his time at Nuuday, James held various senior positions at Tele2 Netherlands (2017-19), Swedish cable operator Com Hem (2014-2016) and the UK’s Virgin Media (2007-2013). “Jon’s considerable experience from the UK and European telecoms markets, together with his track record in leading businesses through transformation, will be hugely valuable as we fully focus BT Business on the UK,” noted Kirkby. James added: “I am excited and honoured to join BT as CEO of BT Business, the UK’s leader in B2B telecoms. BT Business has an unbeatable combination of deep customer relationships and world-class technology expertise, and I am looking forward to working with Allison, Bas and the BT Business team as we build an even stronger asset for our customers, our shareholders and for the UK.” James is the latest new name in the frame at BT’s top table, which has seen multiple changes since Kirkby took over as CEO a year ago. She added Tom Meakin, a former partner at consultancy McKinsey, as chief strategy and change officer and in September ousted chief digital and innovation officer Harmeen Mehta. Then in November 2024, Kirkby announced Claire Gillies as the new CEO of BT’s Consumer division, replacing Marc Allera. The numbers game BT’s fiscal third-quarter trading update, released today, indicates the task ahead for Kirkby, Gillies and (from March) James. Total revenues for the three months to the end of December came to £5.18bn, down 3% year on year, with the decline mainly due to “continued challenging non-UK trading conditions” and lower smartphone sales for BT’s EE consumer division. BT Business, which is still the telco’s second-biggest division after the Consumer unit, reported a 2% decline in revenues, to £1.98bn (including sales to other parts of BT’s operations). For the first three quarters of the current financial year (April to December 2024), BT Business reported a 5% decline in revenues to £5.85bn, compared with the same period a year earlier, showing that the division’s sales are in steady decline. The Consumer division’s revenues were also down in the fiscal third quarter as well as during the first three quarters of the fiscal year, by 2% in both instances, though this is due to the impact of lower device sales: BT noted that Consumer returned to service revenues growth in the third quarter. Despite the declining revenues, BT Group’s margins are improving slightly, thanks to greater cost controls (a key focus of Kirkby’s strategy): Fiscal third-quarter adjusted EBITDA came in at £2.1bn, up 4% year on year. BT noted that its cost transformation plan “remains on track as we continue to create a simpler BT Group, delivering efficiencies across all units; energy usage in our networks was down 3% in the year to date, and total labour resource down 3% year on year to 117k; we achieved an 11% reduction in year-to-date Openreach repair volumes,” noted the operator. Openreach, BT’s quasi-autonomous wholesale fixed access network division, remains the division that continues to grow, albeit only slightly, with fiscal third-quarter revenues up by 1% to £1.53bn. Openreach’s focus is further building out and monetising its fibre access network. Having passed an additional 1 million premises with fibre in the fiscal third quarter, Openreach’s fibre-to-the-premise And there is strong wholesale demand for Openreach’s FTTP network: In the fiscal third quarter, net additions were 472,000 to take the total number of commercial fibre connections to 6 million with a take-up rate of 35%. However, Openreach is losing out to fibre access network rivals in areas where it hasn’t yet rolled out its own FTTP infrastructure: As a result, Openreach’s total broadband lines declined by 208,000. Overall, the numbers weren’t to the liking of investors, as BT’s share price dipped by 2.4% to 142.5 pence on the London Stock Exchange in Thursday morning trading. - Ray Le Maistre, Editorial Director, TelecomTV |
